If your skin feels dry again not long after you moisturize, the issue may not be that you need more product. You may need a different kind of product.
Body balm and lotion can both be part of a dry-skin routine, but they are not the same. Understanding the difference can help you decide which texture makes more sense for your hands, elbows, knees, heels, and other dry areas.
What is lotion?
Lotions are typically lighter products made with water plus oils and other ingredients. Because of their lighter texture, they spread quickly over larger areas of the body and can feel convenient for everyday moisturizing.
What is body balm?
A body balm is usually more concentrated and oil-rich. Infinite Storefront BTP Body Balms are made with beeswax and plant-based oils and are designed to help moisturize and soften dry, rough skin.
BTP stands for Better Than Petroleum. Start with a small amount, warm it between your fingers or palms, and apply it to the areas that need moisture.
When might you reach for a balm?
A richer balm can be especially useful when you want to focus on dry hands, elbows, knees, heels, feet, or other rough-feeling areas. A little can go a long way, so you do not need to scoop out a large amount.
Do you have to choose only one?
No. Skin care does not have to be all or nothing. Some people prefer a lighter lotion over larger areas and a balm on spots that need something richer. The right routine is the one you will actually use consistently.
